    It is sensical for one use:

    “So when is the event?”
    “May 20th, 2024”

    It’s such a niche use, though

      I think that’s because you’re used to hearing dates said that way? Over here in DDMMYY-land, we often would say “20th of May, 2024” and that sounds equally sensical to me tbh

      Americans always put the month first.
      E.g. July 4th.

        In a, “Alright I guess that technically works and at least can follow the logic”. It’s pretty damn niche, however (who is going to ask for two or more years in advanced for a date and not go, “Just text/email it”? Heck, even this is pushing it, but I can at least follow the logic)

        Could be that I’m slightly fucking up definitions in my head, it was a long day yesterday

      In what way is it sensible?

      I get that you prefer saying it like that, just because you’re used to it. It is conventional but definitely in no way sensible.
